                RESEARCH REPORTING SERIES

Research reports of the Office of Research and Development, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, have been grouped into nine series. These nine broad cate-
gories were established to facilitate further development and application of en-
vironmental technology.  Elimination of traditional grouping was  consciously
planned to foster technology transfer and a maximum interface in related fields.
The nine series are:

      1.  Environmental  Health Effects Research
      2.  Environmental  Protection Technology
      3.  Ecological Research
      4.  Environmental  Monitoring
      5.  Socioeconomic Environmental  Studies
      6.  Scientific and Technical Assessment Reports (STAR)
      7.  Interagency  Energy-Environment Research and Development
      8.  "Special" Reports
      9.  Miscellaneous Reports
This report has been assigned to the ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH EFFECTS RE-
SEARCH series. This series describes projects and studies relating to the toler-
ances of man for unhealthful substances or conditions. This work is generally
assessed from a medical viewpoint, including physiological or psychological
studies. In addition to toxicology and other medical specialities, study areas in-
clude biomedical  instrumentation and health research techniques utilizing ani-
mals — but always with  intended application to human health measures.

                               FOREWORD

     The many benefits of our modern, developing,  industrial society are
accompanied by certain hazards.  Careful assessment of the relative risk
of existing and new man-made environmental hazards is necessary for the
establishment of sound regulatory policy.  These regulations serve to
enhance the quality of our environment in order to promote the public
health and welfare and the productive capacity of  our Nation's population.

     The Health Effects Research Laboratory,  Research Triangle Park,
conducts a coordinated environmental health research program in toxicology,
epidemiology, and clinical studies using human volunteer subjects.  These
studies address problems in air pollution, non-ionizing radiation,
environmental carcinogenesis and the toxicology of pesticides as well as
other chemical pollutants.  The Laboratory develops and revises air quality
criteria documents on pollutants for which national ambient air quality
standards exist or are proposed, provides the data for registration of new
pesticides or proposed suspension of those already in use, conducts research
on hazardous and toxic materials, and is preparing the health basis for
non-ionizing radiation standards.  Direct support  to the regulatory function
of the Agency is provided in the form of expert testimony and preparation of
affidavits as well as expert advice to the Administrator to assure the
adequacy of health care and surveillance of persons having suffered imminent
and substantial endangerment of their health.

     Lead and its compounds are widely used.   Exposures at low levels
from many sources are common.  However, most  of our information about
injury from lead comes from industrial experience  where exposure
levels are quite high.  The study reported here was designed to examine
air exposures to lead at various levels with emphasis on low to moderate
exposures in selected population groups.  In addition to external
measurements of atmospheric lead, internal exposure monitoring was
carried out by examining the level of lead in blood.  Several parameters
of effects of lead in the body were also monitored, e.g., hemoglobin
level and disturbance of functions of some enzymes.  Since uniform
methods were employed over a wide range of exposures it was then possible
to examine the relationships between external and  internal exposure
measurements, and also between these and effects produced by the lead,
if any, over a wide range up into those levels where toxicity is manifest.

                                  ABSTRACT
     The objective of this study was to shed more light on the relationship
between the concentration of a metal in air and in blood of the exposed
persons, and biological effects which may be attributed to the exposure
to a given metal.

     The study was carried out at four levels of exposure to lead in air.
The four population groups were:  occupationally exposed workers, and
inhabitants of industrial, urban, and rural areas.

    I.  Young male inhabitants of three villages in the rural mountain
    district of Slovenia:

          1-1  Bohinjska Bela
          1-2  Bovec
          1-3  Tolmin

    II.  Male inhabitants of the city of Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, and
    the largest industrial city in Yugoslavia.  It is a continental town with
    about 600,000 inhabitants and has considerable traffic density.  Since
    the average exposure to lead in air of most inhabitants was found to be
    about 1 pg/m , special population subgroups, which spend more time in
    busy streets than the average citizen, were chosen for our investigation.

         Customs officers were also included in this group, even though
    they live in rural area, because their occupational and estimated
    weighted average exposure was of the same order of magnitude as that
    of special urban population subgroups,

-------
         The subgroups were as follows:

            II-l  postmen
            II-2  gas station employees
            II-3  streetcar drivers
            II-4  customs officers
            II-5  traffic policemen

     III.  Inhabitants of Meza Valley, an area under the influence of a
     lead smelting plant.  Exploitation of lead started in this area
     over 300 years ago and since 1907 the smelting plant has operated
     at the present location.  The production rate is about 20,000 tons
     of lead per year.  The stack gases were cleaned intermittently,
     first by electrostatic precipitators, but these became worn out
     and there was a period without the removal of dust from the gases.
     However, in 1969 fabric filters were installed, but these were out
     of use in the winter of 1971/72.

           Male adults, living within a 5 km distance from the lead
     smelting plant but without occupational exposure to lead, were
     chosen for this investigation.  Included were the inhabitants of:

           Zerjav, close to the plant, with 816 inhabitants
           Mezica, 4-5 km north, with 3495 inhabitants, and
           Crna and Rudarjevo, 1.5 - 2.5 km SW, with 2368 inhabitants.

     IV.  Occupationally exposed workers in:

            IV-1  lead article manufacture
            IV-2  lead storage battery plant II
            IV-3  lead storage battery plant I
            IV-4  lead smelting plant

Investigation schedule

     During the first year of the study, the development and comparative
evaluation of the methods for the determination of given parameters was
carried out (1).

     In the second year the evaluation of methods  was completed (2) and
the investigation was started and continued through the third and the
fourth years.  In the fifth year the investigation was completed and the
results processed and statistically evaluated.

                                 SECTION 2

                                CONCLUSIONS
     The investigation has shown that of the nine biological parameters
measured (Hb, BpE, Rtc, G-6PD, GSH, ALAD, blood Pb, ALA, and coproporphyrin),
the concentration of lead in blood and the delta-amino levulinic acid dehy-
dratase (ALAD) activity correlate best with the level of exposure to lead in
air.  The sequence in correlation of other biological parameters with lead
in air is:  Copro > BpE > ALA > Hb > Rtc.  There was no correlation between
G-6PD or GSH and air lead concentration.

     As regards the correlation between lead in air and biological parameters,
only BpE and Rtc show a significant correlation in all groups.   To some extent
this is also true for ALA and Copro.

     All other parameters correlate well only in group III, the one showing
signs of elevated lead absorption which was "acceptable" to the "Statement"
of some authorities.*  It may be assumed that this group presents a good
model for lead studies, when the concentration of lead in blood is in equili-
brium with the impaired synthesis of hemoglobin.

     There are some inconsistent statistically significant correlations and
differences which in our opinion have to be attributed to the lack of homo-
geneity of certain groups, especially groups I and IV, due to variations in
the background of respective subgroups.

                                 SECTION 3

                                  METHODS
DETERMINATION OF LEAD IN AIR

SAMPLING

     Air samples for lead analysis were collected by high volume samplers
(HV), low volume samplers (LV) and personal samplers.  Modified Andersen
Cascade Impactors were used for the determination of the mass mean diameter
of lead particles.

     Membrane filters of 3 and 8 y pore size, aluminum foils, and Munktell's
00 filters were used as sampling media.

     The high volume samplers used in this study were exactly the same as
used in the "Survey of Lead in the Atmosphere of Three Urban Communities"
(3) and so were the filters.

     The low volume samplers were the same as recommended by the OECD working
group for sulphur dioxide and smoke sampling ("Volumetric apparatus") (4) .
Modified Andersen Cascade Impactors as described by Lee et al. (5) with
aluminum foils as sampling media at the five impaction stages, and millipore
filters (3 y pore size) as backup filters, were used in this study.

     Summarized data on sampling sites, methods of sampling and analysis and
sampling frequency and duration are given in Table 1.

I RURAL AREA

     In each of the three villages, weekly samples were collected continuously
for a one-year period using a low volume sampler with Munktell's 00 filters.

II URBAN AREA

II.1.   Outdoor Sampling

II.1.1  Collection of Total Mass—
     Five high volume samplers were situated in the Zagreb area early in
1972, and have been in continuous operation ever since (Figure 1).

-------
      It was  not  possible  to  provide  attendance  of  samplers  during weekends
 so  samples were  collected Mondays  through  Fridays  on a  24-hour  basis.

 Site  No.     Characterization of  the  Site

  (1)         High density  housing,  residential and  commercial  city
             center  (SHP).

  (2)         New  part of town, south  of the center, high buildings with
             offices or apartments, medium density  housing (INGRA).

  (3)         Medium density housing in western residential area  interspersed
             with industry (CRNOMEREC or DNZC)-

  (4)         Medium density housing in eastern residential area  interspersed
             with industry (VRBANICEVA).

  (5)         Low  density housing  in northern residential area with  family
             houses (IMI).

      In the  course of 1970 and 1971  two standard HV samplers with  glass
 fiber filters were operated  at sites 1 and 4 and two low volume samplers
with Munktell's  00 filters at sites 2 and 5.  However, the results of
 these measurements were not  quite comparable with measurements made later,
and will not be  presented in this report.

II.1.2  Mass Distribution by Size—
     Size selective sampling in  the Zagreb area was performed at one site
 (IMI) for five periods at  different times of the year throughout September
1971 to February 1973.

II.1.3  Sampling for Special Purposes—
     In order to assess the exposure of special population groups  (traffic
policemen, streetcar drivers, etc.) samples were collected by battery-operated
personal samplers (6) on membrane filters 8 y,  during the entire working
shift.

     Samples were collected through 3 consecutive days at each crossing,
transport line or station, and during different times of the year.

     The same sampling technique was also used for the assessment of general
population ("average citizen") exposure during shopping and other activities
along the busy streets of  the urban center.

II.2.   Indoor Sampling

     Low volume  samplers with membrane filters were used for indoor sampling.
Integrated samples were collected for a limited period at three urban sites:

     a.   at  site 4 (see description of sites II-l.l) for 3 periods
         within  6 weeks in May - July 1972 and again for 8 weeks  in

-------
         winter 1972/73 in a first floor laboratory close to a moderately
         busy street, and in an office of the same building but facing
         the courtyard.

     b.  in the city center area in a second floor office room above a
         very busy rather confined street - every second week for one
         year (1972/73).

     c.  in the same area on a fifth floor living room above a busy
         street open to the north - for 3 periods within 6 weeks
         (May - July 1972), and again for 8 weeks in winter 1973.

Ill LEAD SMELTING PLANT AREA

111,1.    Outdoor Sampling

III.1.1  Collection of Total Mass—
     Five high volume samplers were situated along the Meza Valley as shown
ir figure 2.  The Roman numerals in the brackets, used also in the Appendix
  jles, correspond to the numbers of sampling devices.  Going from the
 orth to the south the sites are:

     (1) Mezice (VI) a small town close to the lead mine about 4 km
     north of the smelting plant.

     (2) Zerjav (III) a little village around the lead smelting plant.
     Sampler was situated 0.5 km north of the plant.

     (3) Rudarjevo (I) a small residential area,  recently built about
     1.5 km SW of the plant.

     (4) Crna SE (V) the southeast part of Crna,  an old residential
     town adjacent to Rudarjevo 2.0 km further south.

     (5) Crna W (II) western part of Crna, 2.5 km SW of the plant.

     Continuous measurements were started in November  1971,  usually on a
24-hour basis, but 48-hour samples were collected occasionally and over
weekends.

III.1.2  Mass Distribution by Size—
     Size selection sampling in Meza Valley was performed at 4 sites for 4
periods at different times of the year in 1972 and 1973.

Ill,2.    Indoor Sampling

     Indoor samples were collected at three sites, by  low volume samplers
with membrane filters, during a one-year period,  starting in June 1971.

-------
     The sites are shown in Figure 2.  The samplers were situated in an
office room in Zerjav, in a kitchen of an apartment in Rudarjevo and in an
office room of the county council building in the center of Crna (CRNA C).
For comparison, outdoor air samples were collected simultaneously at the
same site in Crna during the same period, also by a low volume sampler.
Integrated weekly samples were collected within this sampling scheme.

     The two other sites had a corresponding HV sampler outdoors.

IV SAMPLING FOR OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE

TV. 1.   Collection of Total Lead

     In order to assess occupational exposure of workers employed in lead
industries, samples were collected by personal samplers with membrane
filters usually on 3 consecutive days at each working place during the
complete working shift.

IV. 2.   Collection of Respirable Lead

     For the rough estimation of the respirable fraction of lead in the air
of workrooms, simultaneous samples were collected by two stationary samplers
situated side by side, one of which was preceded by a cyclone with  a cutoff
curve according to the specifications of the British Medical Research Council
(7).

     This type of sampling was carried out at characteristic working places
in the lead article manufacturing and lead smelting plant.

ANALYSIS

     All samples collected on membrane filter by HV,  LV,  or personal samplers
were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS).

     The sample collected by LV samplers on Munktell's 00 filters were
analyzed using the ring-oven technique (RO).

Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry

Preparation of Sample—
     Samples were digested in redistilled HNOs, the total extract or a
suitable aliquot was evaporated to dryness and redissolved in EDTA solution
(to prevent loss of lead due to absorption).   The final solution, after
being made up to a certain volume (2, 5, 10 ml or more) should have 1%
EDTA and pH 8.

Analysis of Sample—
     Samples were aspirated into the acetylene flame of the AAS under the
following conditions:

-------
     Hollow cathode lamp:  wavelength 2170 A

                           current        6 mA

     Acetylene flow                    1000 ml/min

     Airflow                           5000 ml/min

     Burner height                        0.8 cm

     Slit width                           0.2 mm

     A blank and a set of standards were run with each set of samples.  The
concentration of lead in the final solution (yg/ml) was read from a calibra-
tion curve and converted into the concentration of lead in air (yg/m3).
Practical sensitivity of the method using the Unicam SP 90 instrument is
2 yg Pb per 1 ml of the final solution.

Ring-oven—
     Samples collected on a 1/2" diameter effective filter surface are
analyzed on the ring-oven using the chromate method (8).   Samples are treated
with sulphuric acid in order to precipitate the insoluble sulphates and to
remove the solubles.  Lead sulphate is washed out with ammonium acetate to
the ring zone and converted to the yellow insoluble lead  chromate, the
concentration of which was assessed by comparison with a  set of standard
rings.  The method gives results comparable with those obtained by AAS
analysis of samples simultaneously collected by HV sampler (9).   Sensitivity
of the method is 0.5 yg Pb in the sample.

DETERMINATION OF BIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS

Sampling

     Blood was drawn by venepuncture into a lead-free  test tube.   Heparin was
used as the anticoagulant.  Blood samples were stored  at  4°C and transferred
to the laboratory.  In most cases the elapsed time between blood drawing and
analysis did not exceed six hours except for lead determination,  which was
done later.

     Urine was collected through 24 hours in a dark bottle without preserva-
tive.   Urine samples were kept at room temperature during sampling.   As soon
as the samples were delivered, 100 ml was separated for the determination of
coproporphyrin and kept neutral or alkaline by addition of sodium carbonate.
It was shown that this procedure stablized coproporphyrins at room temperature
for at least a week.  However, these samples were usually analyzed on the
following day.  The delta-aminolevulinic acid analyses were performed as
soon as the samples were transferred to  the laboratory.

-------
Analysis

Hemoglobin—
     Hemoglobin  (Hb) was determined spectrophotometrically by  the  cyanmethemo-
globin method  (16).  The method was checked by the standards of the  Inter-
national Committee for Standardization in Hematology.  It has been shown that
hemoglobin is  essentially stable during 24 hours of blood storage  at 4°C.

     In a separate study the normal Hb concentration in a group of 298 healthy
male adults was determined.  The group was comparable in age with  the groups
studied.  The  results were as follows:

X ± SD:  15.75 ± 1.11 g/100 ml        (range:  13.3 to 17.3 g/100 ml)

     The reliability of the method was determined on one blood sample in ten
simultaneous tests.  The coefficient of variation for these analyses was 1.24%.

Hematocrit—
     Hematocrit in blood samples (Htc cm3/%) was determined according to
Wintrobe (17).  The analysis was run in duplicate.

Basophilic Stippled Cells—
     The basophilic stippled cells (BpE) were fixed and stained according to
the method of Hamel (18) (using Loffler's methylene blue solution).  In each
blood film a total of 10,000 red blood cells were counted.  The results are
expressed as the number of BpE per one million of red blood cells.  The
upper limit for stippled cell count in unexposed subjects is 1000/106E.

Reticulocytes—
     The reticulocytes (Rtc) were vitally stained by 1% Brilliant-Cresyl-blue
solution in ethanol and a total of 1000 red blood cells were counted in the
films.  The results are expressed as the number of reticulocytes per 1000
erythrocytes (E).  The normal values were between 5 and 15 %o.

The Life Span of Red Cells—
     The determination of the life span of red cells was performed using Cr51
tagged erythrocytes according to the method of Gray and Sterling (19) ,  with
certain modifications (20,21).  The normal life span is 26 ± 3  days.

Glucose 6-phosphate Dehydrogenase Activity—
     Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6PD) activity was measured by the
method of Zinkham et al. (22).  The method is based on direct spectrophoto-
metric determination of reduced triphosphopyridine nucleotide (TPNH)  in the
ultraviolet region (340 run).  The activity is expressed in G-6PD units/100
ml E.  One unit of enzyme is defined as the amount which produces at 340 nm
an optical density change of 2.07 per minute in 3.0 ml of reaction mixture.

     Normal values determined in a group of 50 healthy male adults were:

X ± SD:  182 ± 28.3 unit/100 ml E (range:  153.8 - 210.2 units/100 ml E)

-------
     The reliability of the method was determined on one blood sample.  Seven
G-6PD tests run simultaneously by an analyst yielded a range from 178.3-217.1
units.  The coefficient of variation was 7.52%.

     The stability test run at 4°C showed that G-6PD activity decreased with
the time of blood storage.  After five hours the average decrease in activity
of seven blood samples was 1.50% (absolute decrease 2.50 units/100 ml E) and
after 24 hours 5.22% (absolute decrease 8.70 units/100 ml E).  Since the
analyses were done as a rule within five hours, when the activity decrease
was within the precision limits of the method the results were not corrected.

Glutathione—
     Glutathione (GSH)  was determined in whole blood by the method of
Beutler et al. (23).  The method is based on the development of a relatively
stable yellow color when 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) is added
to glutathione.  The maximum absorption for the reduced DTNB in the visible
part of the spectrum has proven to be at 412 nm.

     It was found that GSH is very stable.   The maximum decrease of GSH
concentration in seven blood samples through 24 hours blood storage at 4°C
was 0.20 mg/100 ml.

     The normal concentration in a group of healthy adults (N = 30)  was:
35.7 ± 6.3 mg/100 ml blood (range:   26.1 - 49.5 mg/100 ml blood).

Delta-Aminolevulinic Acid Dehydratase Activity—
     For the determination of delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase activity
(ALAD) in blood the method of Bonsignore et al.  (24) was used.   The principle
of the method is the spectrophotometric measurement of porphobilinogen (PBG)
formed as a product of  the enzyme action upon substrate,  to which  a known
concentration of delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)  is added.   The activity
was expressed in units/ml red blood cells.   One enzyme unit is  defined as
the difference in the optical density between the experimental  and control
test tube, corrected according to the hematocrit  value and sample  dilution.

     The validity of the method was checked by the examination  of  60 subjects
of whom 33 had no known exposure to lead and 27 were occupationally exposed
to lead at different levels.   The difference between the groups was  statis-
tically significant in accordance with lead exposure.

     The reliability of the ALAD method was determined on one blood  sample.
Eight ALAD tests run simultaneously by two analysts yielded a range  of 177 to
191 units with a mean of 183 units and standard deviation of 3.36  units.  The
coefficient of variation was 1.84%.

     It was proven that the results are affected  by the time elapsed between
blood drawings and analysis.   The average decrease in the activity in seven
samples stored for six hours at 4°C was 4.62% Cabsolute decrease 5.0 units/
ml E) and for 24 hours  23.15% (absolute decrease  25.0 units/ml  E).   Most ALAD
analyses were performed within six hours, the time which does not  affect the
ALAD activity significantly,  and therefore the results were not corrected.
                                     10

-------
Lead  in Blood—
      Lead  in blood was  determined by  the  "monocolor"  dithizone method, which
was developed  in our  laboratory  (25,26).  The advantage  of  this method is  the
elimination of iron before  the extraction of lead with dithizone.  The method
has been used  for a long time for the blood lead determination in occupa-
tionally exposed subjects,  as well as in  the urban and rural population.

      The analyses were  run  in duplicate.  The correlation and regression
between duplicate determinations were calculated for  individual days and the
results are presented in Table 17.

Delta-aminolevulinic Acid—
      Urine ALA determinations were performed by Davis-Andelman modification
(27)  using disposable,  prefilled ion-exchange chromatography columns
("Bio-Rad").  The exception is subgroup 1 of group IV, where the Mauzerall-
Granick method (28) was employed.

      The method was checked by the spiked samples (range:   0-55 yg ALA/ml).
The calibration curves were made with each new set of columns.

Coproporphyrins—
      Total copvoporphyrins—Samples were analyzed fluorimetrically by the
method after Schwartz et al. (29).  According to the original method, the
urine sample, acidified by  buffered acetic acid, was extracted with ethyl
acetate, the extract washed with sodium acetate solution to remove uropor-
phyrins, coproporphyrin precursors were then oxidized with  iodine, and
finally coproporphyrins were extracted with several portions of hydro-
chloric acid.

      The sensitivity of the method is 1 yg/100 ml urine.  After Zieve et al.
(30), the mean coproporphyin value in normal male populations, obtained by
the method of Schwartz  et al. is 163 ± 53 yg/day.  For our normal male popu-
lation, by using the same method, we obtained the value of 12.5 ± 5.8 yg/100
mg urine, which corresponds to the aforementioned values if an average daily
diuresis of 1.2 - 1.5 litres is assumed.

      Coppopapphyrin I and III isomevs—These isomers were determined by the
modification of the Koskelo and Toivonen method (31).  Coproporphyrins were
extracted from urine with ether.  A hydrochloric acid extract of copropor-
phyrins was purified by passing it through an aluminium oxide column which
allowed the majority of impurities to pass through while retaining the
coproporphyrins.   The latter were eluted with ammonium hydroxide and re-
extracted with ether at pH  3.5.  Ether was evaporated, the dry residue was
redissolved in the mixture  of acetic acid and water, and ammonium hydroxide
was applied on to silica gel G on thin-layer chromatography plates.   The
sample was developed in a mixture of 1,6 lutidine and water in an ammonia
atmosphere.  The stains of  separated coproporphyrins were eluted with
hydrochloric acid.
                                     11

-------
     Owing to difficulties in the supply of 1,6 lutidine, the method was
modified by using 1,4 lutidine for the separation of isomers.  In addition,
the chromatography chamber was saturated with ammonia to a higher concen-
tration than in the original method.  It was found that the two most critical
factors, in order to achieve a quantitative separation of two isomers, were
the concentration of ammonia in the chromatography chamber and the relation-
ship between lutidine and water.

     Unlike the original procedure, the isomer stains were not eluted.  The
fluorescence intensity of dry stains was measured directly on the Perkin-Elmer
MPF-2A spectrofluorimeter (special accessory for measuring fluorescence on
thin-layer chromatography plates).  The excitation wavelength was 405 nm and
the emission wavelength 598 nm.

     Normal values of the coproporphyrin I and III proportion vary with the
analytical method applied.  Koskelo and Toivonen (31) have found around 25%
isomer I in their normal population.  Other authors consider the normal range
to be 35-40% coproporphyrin I (32,33).  The mean coproporphyrin I propor-
tion obtained in our normal population was 43.3 ± 10.4%.

                          RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
CONCENTRATIONS OF LEAD IN OUTDOOR AIR

Rural Area

     Monthly arithmetic means based on weekly averages are given for all the
three sites in Table A-l, as well as year averages and the highest weekly
averages.

     Yearly cycles of weekly averages are shown in Figure 3. Relative cumu-
lative frequency distribution of weekly averages of lead in air are shown in
Figure A-l.

     It can be seen from the results that Tolmin, which is a small town, has
higher concentrations of lead in air than Bovec and Bohinjska Bela, but the
results are all of the same order of magnitude and are considerably lower
than in the urban area.

Urban Area

     Arithmetic means, based on 24-hour averages for the five urban sites
.(see Figure 1), are given in Tables A-2 to A-6, as well as the highest 24-hour
values and number of results above 0.7 (the maximum concentration of lead
permitted in open air in the Soviet Union) and 2.0 yg/m3, both for each month
and for the total one year period (1972/73).  The geometric mean, standard
geometric deviation, and the concentration exceeded by only 5% of the values,
are given at the bottom of the tables.  Yearly cycles of monthly arithmetic
means are given in Figure 4.  Relative cumulative frequency distributions of
daily concentrations are shown in Figure A-2.

     All the yearly cycles show a maximum in winter season.  The differences
in lead levels at the five sites are not big and they are caused more by
differences in the proximity of the nearest traffic than by area characteris-
tics.  This is confirmed by eight month simultaneous measurement (1970/71)  at
one site close to the street and another site about 20 m away (Figure 5) with
a concentration drop of 72%.

Industrial Area

     Arithmetic means based on 24-hour or 48-hour averages for the five sites
(see Figure 2) are given in Tables A-7 to A-ll for the year 1971/72 and in
Tables A-12 to A-16 for the year 1972/73.  Highest single values and number of

                                     13

-------
results above 2, 10, 50 and 100 yg/m3 for each month and for the total one
year period are also given as well as geometric means, standard geometric
deviations, and concentrations of which only 5% of values are higher.  Yearly
cycles of monthly averages for all five sites are shown in Figure 6 for
1971/72 and in Figure 7 for 1972/73.  Relative cumulative frequency distri-
butions of daily concentrations in 1971/72 are shown in Figure A-3.

     All the yearly cycles show winter maxima which are however less expressed
at the two sites north of the smelting plant.  The winter maxima were higher
in 1971/72 than in 1972/73 which is most probably due to the deficiency in
filter operation in the winter of 1971/72.  Though the highest concentrations
were found at Rudarjevo (highest daily mean 328 yg/m3), the highest incidence
of concentrations above 10 yg/m3 was recorded at Zerjav, the site nearest to
the smelting plant.


INDOOR CONCENTRATIONS AND INDOOR-OUTDOOR RELATIONSHIP

Urban Area

     The first indoor-outdoor measurement of lead in air in Zagreb was carried
out in a laboratory close to the street with a moderate traffic (II-2-a)
through 3 weeks in September 1971.  The average indoor-outdoor concentrations
ratio was 0.46 thus in agreement with other published data (10).

     The next set of data was obtained within a "total exposure study" during
the same period (May-June-July) and included a living room of a home in the
center of the city (II-2-c) and an office of the same laboratory building as
in the first run, but facing the courtyard which give different results
(Table 3).  The ratio of concentrations measured inside and outside the home
was again within the expected limits.  But the concentrations inside the
office were higher than outdoors.  Therefore, an eight week simultaneous
measurement, December 1972 through February 1973,  was carried out indoors
and outdoors at both the street side and the courtyard side of the laboratory
building.  The results are shown in Tables 4 and 5 and in Figure 8.   They
show that there is a gradual decrease in the lead concentration with the
distance from the street irrespective of the building.

     The eight week lead measurement inside and outside a home in the center
of the city, in February-March 1973, showed practically the same average
indoor-outdoor ratio as in the summer period (Table 6,  Figure 10)-

     A one year measurement (1972/73) of lead concentration relationship
inside and outside an office in the center of the city (II-2-b) gave a rather
confusing picture (Table 7) since indoor concentrations were, on the average,
the same as the outdoor (narrow street with dense traffic in rush hours), and
the ratio varied from 0.60 - 1.76.  The reason for this finding might be
intensive circulation of people, frequently opened windows,  and occasional
heavy smoking in the room.
                                     14

-------
 Industrial Area

     Monthly arithmetic  means  based  on weekly  averages  of  indoor  and  outdoor
 lead concentrations  and  their  ratios at the  three  sites in Meza Valley during
 a  one  year period  in 1972/73 are  shown in Table  8,  as well as yearly  arithme-
 tic means  of concentrations and ratios,  highest  weekly  values and the corres-
 ponding  highest 24-hour  values at the sites  where  simultaneous daily  HV-samples
 were collected.  Yearly  cycles (1972/73) of  the  weekly  averages of indoor
 lead concentrations  at the three  sites in Meza Valley and  the corresponding
 outdoor  concentrations are shown  in  Figures  11,  12  and  13.

     The ratios  of lead  in air concentrations inside and outside  buildings
 (Figure  14)  are  more constant  than in the urban  area, and  do not  depend on
 the orientation  of the front of the  building towards or away from the  smelting
 plant, which is  typical  for a  widespread pollution  from a  large source.

 SIZE-WEIGHT  DISTRIBUTION OF LEAD  PARTICLES

 Urban Area

     The average mass distribution of  lead particles by size on five impaction
 stages and backup filter for the  five  periods of measurement, and the
 corresponding mass median diameters  (MMD), geometric standard deviation (cr_)
 and diameters (exceeded by 5%  of  the particles by mass)  as well as the composite
 of the data  for  urban area are given  in Table 9.

     Graphical presentation of data  is given for both urban and industrial
 area in  Figures  15,  16 and 17  and will be discussed later.

     It  can  be seen  from Table 9  and Figure 15 that the size-weight distribu-
 tion of  lead particles in urban air  is fairly constant and does not show
 seasonal variations.

 Industrial Area

     The average mass distribution of  lead particles by size on the five
 impaction stages and the backup filter for three periods of measurement,
 the corresponding mass median  diameters, standard geometric deviations and
 the diameters (exceeded by 5% of particles by mass) are given in Table 10.
 The results  of the measurements made in November 1972 are not included
 because  one  separation stage was  lost  in one sample and another sample
 showed an obvious abnormality  in distribution,  probably due to the clogging
 of one of the jet plates.

     The size-weight distribution of particles in the air of this  area varies
much more than in urban air,  probably because meteorological conditions
 influenced the dispersion and aging of the aerosol.  There is an obvious
 seasonal variation in particle size distribution (Figure 15)  and,  therefore,
 the composite of all the data was not calculated.
                                      15

-------
Urban Versus Industrial Area

     There is a considerable difference in the size distribution of lead
particles in the air of urban and industrial areas as can be seen from Table
11 and Figures 15 and 16.

     The difference is not only in the HMDs but also in the range of particle
sizes.  The MMD of industrial lead particles is 7 times the MMD of urban lead
particles, but in both areas 95% of particles have a diameter up to about 6
microns.

     For comparison, data for total particles are also given.  There is
practically no difference in MMDs of total particles in both areas, but the
range of particle sizes is again much greater in the urban area.

     The average percentage of lead in total particles varies jrronuQ.S,-.1.0 %
atjdifferent sites^in the urban area and within a wide range (x      °    ,.
industrial area.  There is a positive correlation between cne percentage or
lead in total particles and the concentration of total particles in the air
of industrial area (Figure 17).


EXPOSURE OF POPULATION GROUPS

General Urban Population

     Exposure of an "average citizen" was calculated from indoor and outdoor
lead concentrations in Zagreb air.   Special measurements of exposure,  during
shopping and other outdoor activities, was carried out during 2 periods
between 26 May and 12 September 1972.  The average concentration from two
integrated samples was 6.3 yg/m3 (5.7 and 6.8).   These concentrations  were
recorded 140 cm above the ground.   In simultaneously collected samples 95 cm
above the ground the concentration  of lead was  33% higher,  which shows that
children are exposed to considerably higher concentrations  of car exhausts
than the grown-ups.

Special Population Groups

     The results of measuring exposure to lead  of  special urban population
groups and customs officers,  while  performing their jobs outdoors,  are shown
in Tables B-5 to B-8.   The exposure of postmen  was not  measured,  but cal-
culated from various data on concentrations of  lead in  urban air.

     The concentrations of lead in  air to which these  population groups were
exposed range up to 40 yg/m3.   The  highest incidence of  concentrations above
10 yg/m3  was observed with traffic  policemen.   However,  the average  exposure
did not exceed 10 yg/m3 for any of  the observed population  groups.

     Although the exposure was measured by personal samplers the concentrations
should not be considered as an evidence of individual  exposure.   In  these
groups, exposure does not depend on the behavior or working habits  of  the
individual,  but on meteorological conditions  and the traffic density.


                                      16

-------
      Streetcar drivers and traffic policemen do  not  always keep the same
 route or crossing,  but rotate.   So the average exposure of the group is at
 the same time the mean exposure of every single  person.

      Customs  officers  and gas  filling  station employees work in one place,
 but they move around the  place,  and again an average concentration  of  the
 station  group is  at the same time  the  mean individual exposure.

      The relative cumulative frequency distributions of  the  measured con-
 centrations are shown  in  Figure  A-6.

 Workers  in Lead Industries

      Lead concentrations  to which  workers  in lead industries  are exposed are
 shown in Tables B-ll to B-14.  The values  tabulated  in  the column "mean" are
 arithmetic means  of the repeated measurements  for one worker  or for  one
 working  place,  and  in  the column "average"  are arithmetic means of all measured
 values within one operation or working  room.  Only the concentrations measured
 in  lead  article manufacture TOP  (Table  B-ll) and lead storage battery plant
 Munja II (Table B-12)  show the real exposures to lead, while  the values
 measured in Munja I (Table B-13) and in lead smelter  (Table B-14) are not
 representative  of the  actual exposure  since practically all workers wear
 respirators.

      The relative cumulative frequency  distributions of measured concentrations
 are  shown in  Figures A-7  and A-8.

      The respirable fraction of  lead particles in the air of various working
 places in lead  article manufacture was  in 9 out of 14 samples over 70%, while
 in lead  smelter,  only  in  3 out of  11 samples it was over 50%.


 ESTIMATION OF THE TOTAL EXPOSURE TO LEAD OF THE POPULATION GROUPS (15)

Rural Population

      In  the rural area only outdoor concentrations of lead in air were
measured, and it was supposed that the  total exposure was not too different.

 General  Urban Population

     Measurements were performed for 7 weeks at the working place,  and at home
and during outdoor  activities for one and the same person.  The resulting
data were used  to develop a model for the estimation of the weighted average
weekly exposure of  a city dweller.   The calculation is shown in Table 12.
Should the exposure at the working place vary from 0.5 to 2.0 the weighted
average exposure would change from 0.94 to 1.30 yg/m .  Should the concen-
trations at home differ from the values given in  Table 12 the calculated
exposure could be influenced a little more, but only in extreme cases and
for a small fraction of people, living in narrow  streets with heavy traffic,
 (see Table 9)  did a significant difference occur.  In such exceptional cases
                                     17

-------
the calculated weighted average exposure may reach  2 yg/m3.  Therefore,  the
calculated 1.1 yg/m  can be considered as a mean exposure to lead in air of
an "average citizen".

Special 'Population Groups

Postmen and Other Post Office Workers—
     The personal exposure to lead in air of postmen during their work was
not measured but it was assessed as lower than that of streetcar drivers and
gas station employees, since postmen do not spend all the time on the streets.
It was anticipated that the occupational exposure of postmen might be about
3 yg/m3 and that the rest of the exposure might be similar to that of the
"average citizen."  On the basis of these assumptions the weighted average
weekly exposure was calculated as shown in Table 13.

Gas Station Employees, Streetcar Drivers, Customs Officers and Traffic
Policemen—
     The weighted average exposure to lead in air of these four subgroups
calculated from the data on occupational exposure (arithmetic mean)  and from
the data on the exposure of "average citizen" is shown in Table 13.   The
calculation for customs officers differs only in the free time exposure since
they live in the country at a site similar to a rural area.   It has  been
observed that people in rural areas spend more time outdoors than the urban
population, therefore hours per week spent outdoors have  been doubled in
the calculation.

Dwellers of Lead Smelter Area

     The weighted average weekly exposure of people living in the Meza Valley
was calculated from the data on the average outdoor and  indoor concentrations
of lead in air.

     Since the concentration of lead in air in this area  shows marked seasonal
differences, and blood and urine samples were collected at the end of April,
the average concentration in the preceding 5 months was  taken as  relevant for
the calculation of exposure to be correlated with the biological  indices of
lead absorption.  The results for lead in air in this period are  summarized
in Table 14.

     Calculation of weighted average weekly exposure for  the Meza Valley
inhabitants, taking 0.59 as a conversion factor for indoor exposure  at  the
working place and 0.42 for indoor exposure at home,  and assuming  that this
population spends about 14 hours per week outdoors  (mostly cold season)  is
shown in Table 15.

Ocoupationally Exposed Population

     Weighted average exposure of workers occupationally  exposed  to  lead was
calculated from:

     a.  either the mean personal exposure or the average concentration
         for the occupation

                                     18

-------
      b.   the estimated average  indoor  concentration  at  home

      c.   the estimated average  concentration  during  outdoor activities

      This was not  calculated  for workers who  wear respirators.


ESTIMATION  OF AVERAGE  EXPOSURE  TO AIRBORNE LEAD OF EXAMINED SUBJECTS

      A summary of  the  estimated average exposure to  airborne lead of subjects
whose blood and urine  samples were examined and with complete biological data,
by groups and subgroups, is given in Table 16.

Subgroup  Exposures

Rural Area—
      The  exposure  of subjects from rural areas by subgroups was estimated
from  the  annual average concentration of lead in air measured at one sampling
site  at each of the three places in which the subjects lived.

Urban Area—
      The  exposure  of subjects from urban area was estimated from the average
of personal exposures measured  during working shifts for the respective
occupation.

Lead  Smeltery Area—
      Subjects living around a lead smelting plant without occupational exposure
to lead were chosen for examination within this group.  Therefore, the exposure
to airborne lead in their place of living was assumed to be their critical
exposure.   The five month average concentration of lead in air at each place
prior to  blood and urine sampling, weighted by the number of subjects living
at each site,  was used for estimating average exposure of subjects in group
III.

      Since  it  was found out that some of the subjects within this group were
either working close to the lead smelting plant or were occupationally
exposed in  the past, group III was divided into 2 subgroups according to the
existence or nonexistence of prior exposure.   Thus the data in Table 33 well
describe  the  exposure of subgroup 1,  but only partly represent the exposure
of subgroup  2.

Occupationally Exposed Workers—
     The  exposure of occupationally exposed subjects was estimated from data
obtained by personal samplers worn by the subjects or from the average
exposure of workers performing the same job.   Lead in air data for subgroups
3 and 4 are not reported since workers  wore respirators.

Group Exposures

     Group exposures were calculated  from the subgroup exposures weighted by
the number of subjects in each subgroup.
                                     19

-------
     The results are not corrected for the nonrespirable fraction, since  in
the first three groups, practically 95% of particles by weight were smaller
than 5-6 microns.

     In lead article manufacture the respirable fraction of dust generated
during 2/3 of the operations amounted to 70% or more of the total dust.   A
question is whether or not in the case of toxic dust the nonrespirable
particles should be completely neglected.


RELATIONSHIP OF LEAD IN AIR TO BIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS

     Individual results for all the biological parameters and all the subjects
with complete data are listed by groups and subgroups in tables given in
Appendix B.   Lead blood results are expressed both as the original value  and
as the standard Hb (15.8 g/100 ml)  adjusted values.

     The total number of the examined subjects and the number of subjects
with complete biological data used in further statistical analysis, as well
as the time of blood and urine sampling,  are given in Table 18.

     The summarized results expressed as  arithmetic means with standard
deviations for all biological parameters  by group and subgroup are given
in Table 19.

     For each parameter, the arithmetic mean, median,  range of results and
geometric mean, as well as the standard geometric deviation and the value
exceeded only by 5% of the results for data fitting the log-normal distri-
bution - by group and subgroup, are given in Tables 20 to 30.   The arithmetic
means, medians, and ranges are calculated for the 604 subjects having all the
data, while the geometric means, calculated earlier, represent all the avail-
able data for one parameter.   This means  that there is a slight difference in
the number of data from which x~ and M  were calculated,  but with such a large
sample this should not have influenced the calculated statistics significantly.
In group IV the summarized results of subgroups 1 and 2  are also presented,
since these two subgroups had the only reliable exposure data.

     The ratio of coproporphyrin isomers  was measured for all  subgroups of
groups I (rural) and III (lead smeltery area) but just for two subgroups of
group II (urban) and 38 subjects in subgroup 4 of group  IV (occupationally
exposed group).  Arithmetic means with standard deviations,  medians,  ranges
of results,  geometric means,  standard geometric deviations and values  exceeded
only by 5% of the results,  by groups,  are given in Table 31, both for  results
expressed as % of isomer I and calculated concentrations of  isomer III
(yg/100 ml).

     The life span of Cr-51 labelled red  cells was measured for 10 workers
occupationally exposed to lead (Lead article manufacture)  and  for 12  traffic
policemen.  The results are shown in Table 32 expressed  as arithmetic  means
and the ranges of the half-life of Cr-51  labelled red cells.   The results for

 The  Relationship Between Lead in Air and Biologioal Parameters

      The relationship between the arithmetic  means  of  biological parameters
 by groups and subgroups  and the average  exposures to lead  in air expressed
 as arithmetic means  of the  critical  exposure  and the total weighted  average
 exposure are  shown in Figures 16-26.   For quick reference, the trends,  in
 relation to exposure levels of the biological parameters,  expressed  as
 arithmetic means  of  the  four population  groups, are shown  in Figure  18.

      As  can be seen  from Figure 18 the biological parameters used  in this
 study could be divided into less  and  more sensitive indicators  of  low lead
 exposure.  In low lead exposure levels,  coproporphyrin isomers  I and II and
 the  hemoglobin concentration are  not  altered.  This  is also  apparent from
 the  hematocrit results.   At the same  levels of exposure changes in glucose
 6-phosphate dehydrogenase,  glutathione in blood, and delta-aminolevulinic
 acid in  urine,  are more  likely to  be  caused by natural fluctuations  than
 by differences in lead exposure.   On  the  other hand, all other  parameters,
 e.g., reticulocytes,  basophilic stippled  cells, delta-aminolevulinic dehydra-
 tase, including lead  in  blood,  as  well as coproporphyrin in  urine suggest
 the  influence of  low  lead exposure.

      It  appears that  ALAD is  the most  sensitive indicator.   In  the urban area
 (exposure level II)  the  average ALAD  activity amounts only to half the value
 found in the  rural area  (exposure  level I).   The average blood  lead  concen-
 tration  is higher in  the  urban than in the rural area,  although this  increase
 is not as high as would be  expected from  the ALAD data.  There are probably
 some other factors in  addition to  the  differences in lead exposure responsible
 for  the  differences of ALAD activity  in these two groups.

     The concentration of total coproporphyrin in the urine  is higher in air
 lead  exposure  level II than in  exposure level I,  and so is the copro III isomer
 concentration,  but the copro  I/copro III  ratio (expressed as  copro I %)  is not
 significantly  altered.

     The average number of Rtc  and BpE follows the increase of air lead
 exposure.  The  results of BpE  are very scattered and the difference  is
 not  significant.

     At air lead exposure level III,  which could be characterized as the
 intermediate exposure, but approaching the safe occupational  exposure, the
 response of biological parameters follows the trend  observed  at previous
 exposure levels.  The ALAD activity persistently decreases in a curvilinear
manner,  and the blood-lead concentration increases to about three times the
 concentration found in the urban area.  Total coproporphyrin  continues to
 ascend to higher levels,  while  the percentage of  copro  I isomer declines.
The excretion of ALA goes up significantly.  The  average number of Rtc and
BpE continues to increase.  There was no change in the  hemoglobin concen-
 tration.   The average G-6PD activity and GSH concentration oscillate within
natural  variations.
                                      21

-------
     At air-lead exposure level IV, i.e., at occupational exposure, changes
in ALAD activity and lead in the blood, coproporphyrin and ALA in the urine
continue to reflect the difference in exposure.  There is a stagnancy in the
average number of BpE and Rtc.  The hemoglobin concentration decreased a
little, which is also reflected in the hematocrit value.  The G-6PD activity
and GSH concentration continue to fluctuate.

     Correlation of biological indices of lead-induced changes, with four
exposure levels to lead in air, is shown in contingency tables B-15 to B-25.
Hematocrit data were not taken into account as the direct determination of
hemoglobin is a more precise index of the Hb alteration.  In addition to the
rank correlation coefficients, quadriserial correlation coefficients were
also computed (Table 33).  For the more relevant parameters, rank correlation
coefficients were also calculated from logarithms of biological indices, but
only in the case of total coproporphyrin was a better correlation obtained in
this way.  The quadriserial _r is a better correlation measure when one variable
is divided into four categories while the other variable is quantitative.   In
both cases the highest correlation with the level of exposure was obtained
for ALAD and lead in blood.   The sequence in order of the quadriserial corre-
lation coefficients is as follows:

     ALAD > Pb, ..  , > Copro > BpE > ALA > Hb > Rtc
              blood     *      *

The correlation coefficients for copro-isomers cannot be directly compared
with the others since in group IV, isomers were measured only in subgroup  4
with the highest exposure,  and this may positively influence the correlation.
There is no correlation between G-6PD or GSH and air-lead levels.

     The high negative correlation between lead in air and ALAD,  as well as
the high positive correlation between lead in air and lead in blood, signify
ALAD and lead in blood as the biological parameters with a quick response  to
the air-lead exposure.  The others, e.g.,  coproporphyrin,  ALA,  BpE,  Rtc and Hb
are less affected by the exposure to lead by they do not reflect the dynamic
responses of the organism to the absorbed lead,  and therefore the intensity
of changes is influenced b  the rate of absorption,  excretion,  and retention.

     The relationship between lead in air and biological parameters is also
illustrated in Figures 19-26.  In these figures the concentrations of  lead
in air are expressed in numerical values both as arithmetic means of measured
exposures and as the total  weighted average exposure of groups  and subgroups.
While in Figure 18 only trends are shown,  in Figures 19-26 the  relationship
can be followed quantitatively.  The results presented in this  way show the
same general trend as observed in Figure 18.  This presentation,  however,
shows that subgroup 1 of group III fits well into the trend,  while subgroup 2,
though apparently less exposed, shows biological findings  of the same  order
as the moderately exposed subjects of group IV.

Differences in Biological Parameters

     In Table 34, the analysis of variance between and within groups,  and  in
Table 35, the coefficients  of variation by subgroups, for all biological
parameters are presented.

                                      22

-------
Differences Between Examined  Groups

     Highly significant differences between the groups were  found  for  all
biological parameters.  The analysis of differences between  every  two  groups
(t-test) has shown that there is a difference between all four groups  in ALAD,
Pb, ALA, coproporphyrin and copro III isomer.  Rtc and BpE differed signifi-
cantly in the first three groups but there was no significant difference
between group III and group IV.  On the other hand, group IV was responsible
for differences in Hb between groups.  Differences in G-6PD was due to group
II.  For GSH there were no significant differences between group IV and groups
I and II, but all other differences were significant.

Differences Within Examined Groups

     In group I, consisting of male inhabitants of three rural mountain
districts, statistically significant differences among the subgroups were
found in four biological tests:  G-6PD, GSH, Pb and ALA.  The analysis of
differences between subgroups taken two by two (t-test)  has shown that in
case of G-6PD, Pb and ALA, the difference is caused by subgroup 1 which had
systematically lower values for all the three parameters than did subgroups
2 and 3.  In case of GSH, only subgroup 3 had systematically lower values.

     For the difference in G-6PD and GSH, we have no plausible explanation.
It may be assumed that it is due to natural oscillations.  As can be seen
from Figure 18,  there is no trend to higher or lower values of G-6PD and
GSH with increasing lead exposure.   The differences in blood lead,  which is
also reflected in urine ALA concentration, may probably  be attributed to the
different ingestion of lead through the variation of food.  It is true that
subgroup 1 has also the lowest exposure to lead in air,  but it is hard to
believe that such a small difference in the air lead (see Table A-l)  can
cause a statistically significant difference in blood lead.

     Group II, which comprises the urban population, is  a rather heterogeneous
group.   The analysis of variance showed statistically significant differences
among subgroups of group II for almost all parameters (Table 34).  A more
detailed analysis of differences among the subgroups has shown that subgroup
3 (streetcar drivers)  differs from other subgroups by higher blood lead,  lower
ALAD and Hb values.   On the other hand subgroup 3 has lower Rtc and BpE count
than the other subgroups,  and higher GSH.

     Subgroup 4 (customs officers)  differs from other subgroups by higher ALA,
coproporphyrin,  BpE and Rtc values.   Hb is also lower than in the remaining
three subgroups.  Subgroup 1 (postmen)  has higher G-6PD  and ALAD values than
the other subgroups and lower GSH and ALA values.   However,  blood lead,
although lower than in subgroup 3,  is higher than in other three subgroups.

     The most plausible explanation for the differences  in at least some of
the parameters compared is not the present exposure to lead in air, but
differences in background, socioeconomic status, place of residence, working
time, diet, drinking habits etc.
                                      23

-------
     For instance, streetcar drivers  (subgroup  3) are mostly recruited  from
poor villages; they work day or night shifts in rotations, and  do not take
regular meals, and the fluctuation is rather high.

     Customs officers live in the country; they also work in shifts, but  their
socioeconimc status is much better.

     Therefore, although the differences in biological parameters between
subgroups of group II are statistically significant, the total  variation
within the group can be considered as a natural oscillation.

     In group III, subgroups 1 and 2 differ significantly in ALAD and Pb  in
blood and ALA in urine.  The difference in urinary coproporphyrin is not
statistically significant due to the great dispersion of results in both
subgroups (see Table 35).

     There is no difference in Hb, GSH and G-6PD which may indicate that  this
group is homogeneous as to the background, socioeconomic status and life
habits.  The differences are only in those parameters which reflect influence
of lead, and the absolute levels of these parameters are in the region of
elevated lead absorption.  Therefore, it is justified to conclude that the
differences are caused by different exposure to lead.  As a matter of fact,
the criterion for dividing Meza Valley inhabitants into two groups was whether
there is, or ever has been, any exposure to lead in air in addition to that
endemic to the area.  All those who were previously occupationally exposed to
lead or are occasionally working in,  or close to,  the lead smeltery plant were
grouped in subgroup 2.

     In group IV, the difference among subgroups is mainly due to subgroup 4,
the one with the highest exposure.  The workers of subgroup 4 have the lowest
Hb concentration and ALAD activity, the highest number of BpE and Rtc and the
highest excretion of ALA and coproporphyrin by urine.  However,  the blood-
lead content was not highest in subgroup 4, but in subgroup 3.

     G-6PD values are significantly lower and GSH  values are significantly
higher in subgroup 4 than in others.   As mentioned before,  these differences
could not be related to lead, but to  the natural oscillation.   Subgroup  4 of
group IV lives in the same area as group III and in a. similar geographic and
ethnic region as group I.  All the subjects from these groups (except 1-1)
have very similar levels of GSH (39-41).  Populations living in  Zagreb and
vicinity like group II and subgroup 1, 2,  and 3 of group IV have GSH levels
between 34.4 and 37.6,  The G-6PD values shows  similar differences although
less pronounced.

The Relationship Between Biological Parameters

     The relationship among different biological parameters  was  first tested
by groups and for all subjects using  the Pearson coefficient of  correlation
(Table 36).   However, since there is  a significant difference between the
means of the groups, and even of some subgroups, it is not  correct to cal-
culate a common correlation coefficient, as it  may be misleading because the
                                     24

-------
 general trend may mask the true association.   Therefore,  averaged coefficients
 of  correlation were calculated  for  all  subjects  (Table  37)  and separately for
 groups  III  (Table 39)  and  IV (Table 39),  in which  differences  in biological
 parameters  should be associated with different degrees  of exposure to  lead.
 Comparison  of the data in  Table 36  with those  in Tables 37-39  shows clearly
 how erroneous conclusions  can be if based on wrong statistics.

      An additional difficulty is that the distribution  of some parameters was
 close to normal at two lower levels of  exposure  but  log-normal or irregular
 at  higher levels of exposure.   That was one of the reasons  that  the corre-
 lation  between the parameters deviated  more or less  from  the linear.   In  some
 cases a better correlation was  obtained by taking  logarithms of  one or both
 parameters.

 Correlation between Biological  Parameters  of the Whole  Population—
      There  is very little  correlation between  biological  parameters  of the
 whole population (Table 37).  Beside the  high  correlation between Bpe  and
 Rtc  and significant correlation between coproporphyrin  and ALA in urine,
 there is a  very low correlation of  ALA  with BpE, of  log ALAD with log ALA
 and  log BpE,  as well as of Pb in blood  with log  BpE, Hb and ALA.  No corre-
 lation  was  found between ALAD and Pb in blood.   These findings might be
 explained by  the dynamic relationship between  the biological parameters
 examined which may be  different  at  different exposure levels.

 Correlation Between Biological  Parameters Within Groups—
      As  previously stated, the  correlations within groups III and IV have
 been studied  in more detail.

      Group  IV—As  can be seen from  Table  39 except for BpE/Rtc and copropor-
 phyrin/ALA  very little correlation was  found between biological parameters
 in group  IV.   A low but significant  correlation was  found of Hb with BpE,
 Rtc,  blood  Pb,  ALA, and coproporphyrin.   BpE and Rtc were in correlation with
 blood Pb  and  ALA.   There was a very  low correlation between blood Pb and ALA
 as well  as between Rtc and coproporphyrin.

      When linear  correlation coefficients were calculated there was con corre-
 lation between ALAD and any other parameter, but when logarithms were used
 for  calculations,  the correlation between ALAD and ALA became significant.

      Gvaup III—Again, a very high  correlation was obtained between Rtc and
 BpE,  and  between  coproporphyrin  and ALA  (Table 38).  Also for this group, a
 very  significant  correlation of  log ALAD with blood Pb,  log coproporphyrin
 and  log ALA was obtained.  Correlation of ALAD with BpE and with Rtc was
 also  significant.

      In  addition  to log ALAD, Pb in blood was  in significant correlation with
Hb.    There is  a  low but significant  correlation of blood Pb with BpE, Rtc,
 log ALA and log coproporphyrin.   Further, a low,  but significant  correlation
was  found of BpE and Rtc with ALA,  coproporphyrin and G-6PD and of copropor-
phyrin with GSH.
                                      25

     For this group, contingency Tables B-15 to B-39 and scatter diagrams
(Figures 21 to 36) are given.

Life Span of Cr-51 Labelled Red Cells

     The results presented in Table 32 show that there is a significant dif-
ference in the half-life of red cells among subjects without known exposure,
subjects with moderate occupational exposure and subjects with clinical
symptoms of lead poisoning.  But the group of traffic policemen showed
practically no difference in the red cells half-life as compared to the
occupationally exposed group, although exposure to lead in air was con-
siderably lower as confirmed by other biological tests.

     However, irrespective of results, in our opinion this test is not suit-
able to be used widely as an early indicator of lead exposure.

                                APPENDIX B


BIOLOGICAL DATA

Cumulative Frequency Distribution of Biological Parameters

     In the series of 28 figures which follow, each of the biological para-
meters is analyzed as a function of the area or occupation (or both) of the
groups or subgroups of subjects studied.

Relationship of Lead in Air to Biological Parameters

     The four main groups of tables in this appendix show the relationship
of the concentration of lead in the air to the following variables:

     1.  Rural Area of residence

         a.  Bohinjska Bela
         b.  Bovec
         c.  Tolmin

     2.  Urban Area by occupation

         a.  Postman
         b.  Gas station employee
         c.  Streetcar driver
         d.  Customs officer
         e.  Traffic policeman

     3.  Residence in a lead smeltery area

         a.  Meza Valley inhabitant with no occupational exposure
         b.  Working close to the lead smeltery or having previous
               occupational exposure

     4.  Occupational exposure due to employment in one of the following:

         a.  Lead article manufacturing plant
         b.  Lead storage battery manufacturing in the Munja II or
               Munja I plant
         c.  Lead smelting plant
                                     226

 15. SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES
 16. ABSTRACT
       The ob.iective of this study was  to put more light on  the  relationship between
  the concentration of a metal  in air  and in blood of exposed  persons, and biological
  effects  which may be attributed to the  exposure of a given metal.

       The study was carried out at four  levels of exposure  to lead.  The four
  population  aroups were: occupationally  exposed workers, and  inhabitants of
  industrial, urban and rural areas.

       The investigation has shown that out of 9 biological  parameters measured
  (Hb,  BpE, Rtc, H-6PD, GSH, ALAD, blood  Pb, ALA, coproporphyrin),  concentrations
  of lead  in  blood and ALAD activity are  in best correlation with the level of
  exnosure to lead in air.  The sequence  in correlation of other biological parameters
  with  lead in air is: Copro  BpE  ALA  Hb  Rtc.  There was  no correlation between
  G-6PD or ^SH and air lead level.

       As  to  the correlation between biological parameters only  BpE  and Ptc show a
  sianificant correlation in all groups.   To some extent this  is also true for ALA
  and Cooro.
